Looking at picking up a Ruger SR1911 CMD (Commander) pretty soon. Only drawback I can see is it doesn't come with an ambidextrous thumb safety, but that can be replaced with aftermarket products.

What are you thinking about, a Springfield also?

I noticed that the Springfield has about the same weight, balance and "feel" of the old "slabside" Colt. When I held one, it was real comfortable, unlike alot of knockoffs.

Probably Springfield. I live pretty close to where they make them.

Finally managed to actually bring home the VZ24 (Czech built Mauser G98. ).

Can't wait to put some rounds through her.

I like that straight bolt on the Mauser's Chris.I have had one (VZ24) for quite a few years and can still touch the the gong @300yds + with open sites 2 out 5.

Awesome Kev! The gunsite scout is the next rifle I will be buying. I'm picking up a new Howa today so will post pictures of it later.

Here she is. Howa 1500 .223 with 10 round magazine.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Nice rifle.

I thought firearms where not allowed in Australia.

Great looking rifle!

Nice rifle.

I though firearms where not allowed in Australia.

I was wondering about that as well...

Anyone can own a gun here, you just need a valid reason ie sports shooting. Depending on the type of license you hold, restricts the type of weapons you are able to own. I hold a Cat A B firearms license which allows me to own rimfire, centre fire rifles and shotguns. I can not buy a handgun or semi auto weapon.

Interesting did not know that. All the propaganda machines here spew about how weapons are banned everywhere else in the world (including Australia).

Interesting Rifle had to go look up the manufacturer myself heard of them but no experience with them Andy.The mag is that a single stack or double?The Ruger goes single heard it makes the feed issue smoother on a bolt Also your Howa got a heavy barrel by the looks?I am thinking of loading some bullets for the Ruger after a headspace check.I have loaded shorter than SAAMI specs for my Military stuff only to find the longer cartridge works better less wobble they say in the throat area.

Hi Kev. Yep heavy barrel and double row magazine. Like I said before, the gunsite scout will be my next rifle. I handled one at the gun shop the other week and was surprised at how light it was! Nice looking beast too

Interesting that a person can own a rifle, which has far more hitting power at range, than a handgun.

And interestingly enough, I was shown how to operate a bolt-action Mauser by a former SS Panzergrenadier and he could work that K98 bolt action nearly as fast as a semi-automatic and with exceptionally accurate results.

According to the media, my S&W 9mm is more dangerous sitting locked away in the cabinet than idiots running loose in London or in Chinese elementary schools armed with knives...
